The month of July has come to an end today. Another seven months of 2009 has gone by. All I have is 3 miserable post this month. Its not that I have been down with ill health again. In fact I have been busy eating and celebrating birthdays with family and friends making me short of time to be here.( Looking forward to another one this Sunday). Just 3 months back I was on a liquid diet causing me to lose many kilos with my pants 2 sizes bigger and now I am back to my normal weight after a month of feasting.

If you think life is hard on you, get some inspiration and motivation by watching this video on a unique young man who was born with no arms and legs. I am deeply touched by his positive outlook on life despite his disabilities.

Last week we had dinner at this restaurant without any sea view as its name stated otherwise to meet up with Nick (our distant relative from Bangkok) and his friends for the first time. The food and service was good. We were lucky enough to try the famous speciality of the restaurant, that is the steamboat " Hu Lo ". A type of fresh water fish which is thinly sliced were dip into a hotpot of savoury fish soup in a steamboat to be eaten with a special dipping sauce. Fresh soft beancurd and some green vegetables were also provided for the steamboat.
